Title Occupational pathology in the aeronautical industry
Original title La pathologie professionnelle dans l'industrie aéronautique [in French]
Bibliographic information 1986, Vol.25, No.97, p.71-78.
Abstract Article in 2 parts. Part 1 analyses occupational accidents and diseases among French aeronautical engineering workers in 1982. Part 2 analyses the same among maintenance workers of a large airline. The main occupational risks seem to be those of highly-skilled engineering workers in general (exposure to toxic fumes, metal dust and cutting fluids), those of workers in the chemical and petroleum industry (exposure to fuel, solvents and detergents), those of workers in the electroplating and surface-treatment industries, and those specific to aeronautics: radar maintenance, materials testing by x-rays and gamma rays, pickling and coating the fuselage, puttying the fuel tanks. Medical surveillance and work schedules.
